Daniel Sikazwe’s SWEET HOME COMING

After such a gorgeous welcome in my clan on the banks of Lake Tanganyika, I want to go to Ngabwe to think about what was going through the mind of the person who told my people that once there was a beautiful place called paradise; the place where the ancestors of people I have no historical connection
with were booted out for sinning.
I really want to go to Ngabwe to find out what was going through the mind of that person who said there is a place, somewhere in the future, a beautiful place in which we will live when we die. In my clan you don’t have to die to experience bliss. We live and are connected to the highest form of beauty – there is an abundance of water, bird, animal and plant life.
With all that we are blessed with, we care deeply about the future and we believe that taking care of our natural environment today is the way to live in heaven now and to let those who will come long after us to live their lives in harmony with nature. Home is beautiful
